The solution is λ=2.5×10^-7 m

Frequency, speed of light, and wavelength are related by the formula

c = fλ ⇒ λ =c/f

Where c = speed of light ,f = frequency, λ= wavelength

Plug in the value of c = 3 × 10^8 m/s and f = 1.2 × 10^15 Hz in the above equation and solve for the value of λ

λ = 3 × 10^8 ms^-1/1.2 × 10^15 Hz

λ=2.5×10^-7 m

The number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time; also, the number of cycles or vibrations undergone during one unit of time by a body in periodic motion.

A parallel-plate capacitor has plates with an area of 451 cm2 and an air-filled gap between the plates that is 2.51 mm thick. Th

Nostrana [21]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Energy defined in the capacitors, as well as the capacitance and load. From these three definitions we will build the solution to the problem by defending the energy with the initial conditions, the energy under new conditions and finally the change in the work done to move from one point to the other.

Energy in a capacitor can be defined as

$E = \frac{1}{2}CV^2 = \frac{1}{2}\frac{Q^2}{C}$

Here,

V = Potential difference across the capacitor plates

Q = Charge stored on the capacitor plates

At the same time capacitance can be defined as,

$C = \epsilon_0 (\frac{A}{d})$

Here,

$\epsilon_0 =$ Vacuum permittivity constant

A = Area

d = Distance

Replacing with our values we have that,

$C = (8.85*10^{-12})(\frac{0.0451}{2.51*10^{-3}})$

$C = 1.5901*10^{-10}F$

PART A) Energy stored in the capacitor is

$E = \frac{1}{2} CV^2$

$E = \frac{1}{2} (1.5901*10^{-10})(575)^2$

$E = 2.628*10^{-5}J$

PART B) We know first that everything that the load can be defined as the product between voltage and capacitance, therefore

$Q = CV$

$Q = (1.59*10^{-10})(575)$

$Q = 9.1425*10^{-8}C$

Now if $d = 10.04*10^{-3}m$ we have that the capacitance is

$C = \epsilon_0 (\frac{A}{d})$

$C = (8.85*10^{-12})(\frac{0.0451}{10.04*10^{-3}})$

$C = 3.9754*10^{-11}F$

Then the energy stored is

$E = \frac{1}{2} \frac{Q^2}{C}$

$E = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{(9.1425*10^{-8})^2}{3.9754*10^{-11}})$

$E = 1.051*10^{-4} J$

PART C) The amount of work or energy required to carry out this process is the difference between the energies obtained, therefore

$W = 1.051*10^{-4} J -2.628*10^{-5}J$

$W = 7.882*10^{-5} J$

Help fast I want the correct answer please does spectral diffusion cause light to scatter

LiRa [457]

Answer: No

Explanation:

Whenever light travelling on a straight line encounters obstruction, it diffracts and scatter.

Scattering of light occurs when light passes through a rough path or a diffused surface.

But in case of spectral diffusion, which is the fluctuation in spectroscopy as a result of time dependent frequency shifts.

Spectral diffusion occurs in particular molecules initiated by excessive excitation energy.

Fluctuation in frequency does not mean diffraction of light or particles

Therefore, spectral diffusion does not cause light to scatter.

A visitor to a lighthouse wishes to determine the height of the tower. She ties a spool of thread to a small rock to make a simp

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

l = 10.16 m

Explanation:

In this case, we have the period of oscillation of the pendulum is 6.4 s. It is required to find the height of the tower.

We know that the pendulum executes SHM. Let l is the height of the tower. The time period of simple pendulum is given by :

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}$

g is acceleration due to gravity

We need to rearrange the above equation such that,

$l=\dfrac{T^2g}{4\pi ^2}\\\\l=\dfrac{(6.4)^2\times 9.8}{4\pi ^2}\\\\l=10.16\ m$

So, the height of the tower is 10.16 m.
